It certainly won't come today anyway! Walked out the door in Aberdeen this morning in a t-shirt and believe me, it reminded me (and others) of mornings in tenerife. It is really bizarre! Upsettingly pleasant in a way! Still, not as nice as being blasted by a blizzard. Bring it on!
If anyone wants a laugh I just had a look at Les Arcs and they are experiencing temperatures of 11degrees C at 2040m! The freezing level is 3800metres! HA! Hilarious.

Could be time for another log on the fire! Just went for a run up Bennachie (slightly ambitious), blue skies when I left the car park but full on snow storm by the time I got to the top, freezing cold and extremely windy, but great view of snow covered hills to the north east as I was driving there.
Could be time for an afternoon of anticipation by the fire...

are you the Ruth Mottram - studying or studied for PhD at StAndrews ?
If you are, my wife and I both got degrees there around '95-96, and my wife George(ina) (nee Hallam) knows Doug Benn well and Colin Ballantyne - as she assisted them with field-work during various summers.
If not - ignore the above!
we live about 3 miles north of Bennachie, so often up there, biking or running with 2 black labs in tow. Once skied toured on the hill - in 2001 I think.
